I just installed sr71 and I have to say my initial reaction is WOW! After setting up in Govnah, I test opened most common apps - msg, cal, email, web, photos and all opened like right now. Camera was about 5 secs until photo taking icons appeared. I then wanted to see temp and opened govnah and now have the never ending reset. Oh well, back to the beginning.....

Reporting back. Thunderchief has kept the land problem free thus far. Temps reached 42 for medium use. Ran a 20 % dash and in that time, browsed the forums here, had every stock app open and facebook beta and at the moment battery hit the 10% mark during the last 20-25 minutes. Time to preset reset. Catch yall later. I look forward to running some tests out in the Santa Cruz sun. It's expected to reach the 80's with high humidity. Good times.

compared to previous updates, and the original chief, this motha' is a touch or two more speedy responsive.

I can report that I have been using SR71 since about the beginning. A week or two ago, I switched Pre's. Since it ran well on my first one (after using the other OC kernels), I installed in on the replacement. Well, it installed, but I was getting resets and it would not boot up without plugging it in to a charger. So I uninstalled and put in F105. After using that for a week or two, I installed the latest SR71(.84) yesterday. It boots up without a charger and has been doing great. I don't think I was using .84 before, so, either changes in the newer version helped me out, or the processor got used to higher frequencies and can now run at 1.2ghz. I have heard that electronics (cpu's) can run better after a "burn-in" period, but I'm not sure about the omap processor. In any case, great job Marco.

I going to concur with all the glowing reviews of the .88 version of Thunderchief.

I have run all versions since .47 and this one seems to be the snappiest of the bunch. I have not had any anomalies or random reboots is the couple of days that I have been running .88. It seems to be OK on the battery and stays acceptably cool, especially on the Touchstone.

i have noticed a HUGE difference in sr71.84 as well. i tried the initial release of the blackbird and my phone didnt like it at all. actualy seemed to slow down compared to the f105 that i had been using prior to its release. Just installed the -84 and im running at light speed! not sure what changes were made but.....WOW!

I used the SR71 Blackbird kernels for weeks and I was very happy with it, but this weekend I had to replace my Pre because of a keyboard problem. I insisted to Sprint that the replacement Pre must be a new device and not a referb, they gave me a brand new Pre. i doctored it to 1.4.1 and tried installing the SR71 Blackbird kernel but after rebooting the Pre would not boot, doctored it again and installed it one more time with the same result. I ended up instaling the F105 kernel and that works. Any ideas why the SR71 Blackbird does not work?

I had the same issue while testing SR71. Every reboot or Luna restart would reset launcher page, also it would remove any added pages. Went back to F105 and that problem is gone now. F105-88 so far is working flawlessly.

I'm booted to F105 now and i can not keep additional launcher pages after restart. So i'm not sure its a SR71 vs F105 problem. I think I have a corrupted filesystem. I'm am going to doctor it but will wait till 1.4.5 hits everywhere.

Sweet, voltage tweaking! Thanks for the update, one question, you recommend using Govnah for the voltage tweaks, where do I access that? Is it a new feature that isn't in the current Govnah? Do the 74 70 66, etc numbers in the vdd1_vsel file correspond to 1.74 volts, 1.70, etc for the 1.05, 900, etc states, respectively, or do I have this all wrong? :P Thanks again for all your work.

Sort of.

Each number represents the array in available_frequencies. Ignore the last 2 since I chopped them off. To calculate the voltage: (Vsel*12.5)+600=mV.

Govnah will have this feature soon, but for now it's manual and won't stick on reboot without govnah.

It's likely your new Pre does not have a "gifted" CPU/mem/hardware combo. I suggest you try F105 instead. SR71 needs the top rung of hardware to work properly, and they don't bin sort this hardware to run at 1.2GHz & tell you what you get.
